The Telugu media and the general public are now seized with Junior NTR's meeting with BJP strongman Amit Shah. While a lot is being speculated about what transpired at the meeting, which lasted for over 45 minutes. The media is speculating that the BJP could be planning to use the services of NTR to woo the settler voter.

However, who facilitated this meeting? If sources are to be believed, a lot of backroom planning went into the meeting. NTR was tipped off well before the meeting. He was also briefed about the issues that could arise during the meeting. If sources are to be believed, ace director SS Rajamouli's father Vijayendra Prasad played a key role in facilitating the meeting.

Now Vijayendra Prasad is one person to whom NTR can never say no. It was ensured that NTR would agree to meet Amit Shah. So, BJP has used Vijayendra Prasad to make NTR agree for the meeting. Though both Amit Shah and NTR were sure that he would not make a political entry at this stage, it was believed that the meeting would send clear signals to the large settler community in Telangana. Vijayendra Prasad played a crucial role in bringing both together.

Junior NTR had campaigned for the Telugu Desam in the 2009 elections. His speeches and mannerisms were a hit. Though the TDP did not win the elections, he shone like no other leader. But since then, the TDP top boss kept him at a distance. Alienated, NTR kept a distance from the party ever since. His latest meeting with Amit Shah raised speculations about NTR's future moves.
